Finding a strong female lead to play a kick-posterior comic book heroine, or villain, is no easy task, so how does the announcement that former Miss Israel and Fast and Furious actress Gal Gadot sit with the fanboys?

Well this fanboy isn't sure yet, and while she isn't the most tortuous of women like Lynda Carter, who holds a special place in my formative years, or even Adrianne Palicki of "Friday Night Lights" who was in a pilot for a Wonder Woman TV show reboot that didn't get picked up, she does seem to have the chops to be the most famous of female comic book heroes.
